Workflows

Workflows: verify with https://wiki.ohie.org/display/SUB/Health+Financing+Workflows

APIs

APIs: verify with openIMIS FHIR implementation:

• claim payment is not managed in openIMIS (flows):

  • feature looks very useful, but the structures are not available in openIMIS, yet.

  • verify with Nepal, if feature is requested - other implementers?

• claim FHIR to send from openIMIS to SOSYS exists (flows)

  • currently done via file? technically it’s an exiting FHIR API in openIMIS and would need to be extended

• REST C# is not an extension and is not part of the FHIR (separate component to connect mobile applications) => will be deprecated by modular architecture

• (@Patrick Delcroix ) I am not sure that the contribution are supported in the current FHIR module, the contribution is, as per the e-payment definition, the amount claimed as sent, for the formal sector, we aim to use the contribution as the tri-parties agreement for a given period (Employer - employee - Insurance), the FHIR resources that match this definition is the contract; on employer will have only one contract for a given period, all employee will be mentioned as FHIR Asset. In openIMIS this FHIR contract will be called “contribution collection”

• We need to consider the legacy integrations using R3 FHIR for OpenMRS and Bahmni when thinking about upgrades etc.

  • check required FHIR resources between STU3 and R4

Dependencies

• MS-SQLJSON vs. Postgrs JSON(B)

  • no indexing in MS-SQL JSON

  • language not normalised

  • add column to the DB scheme for selected object types even in the legacy DB

• Batch / Background scheduler: Apache Airflow vs. openHIM

  • more suitable outside of the openIMIS internal workflows

  • integration into OpenHIE?

  • alternatives:

    • Django Celery:

    • django-cron

    • django-scheduler

    • recommended: Django APScheduler:

Questions - Challenges - Issues

Next week:

• finalisation of Healthix workflows incl. timeline
